Are immigrants actually making Europe far less safe?

European homicide rates fell during mass migration, but research flags integration, legal work, and a 63% rape-conviction statistic in Sweden.
The video tests claims by Donald Trump, JD Vance, and European far-right politicians that migration has made Europe dangerously less safe. It notes homicide rates fell since the 1990s—by 36% in Germany and 82% in Italy—even as migration grew, and corrects claims about Muslim population growth: about 37 million lived in Europe in 2000, compared with 45 million in 2020. Immigrants are overrepresented in some prisons, but age, poverty, pretrial detention, and shifts in criminal roles may help explain the figures; studies in the US, Italy, and Germany find no significant overall crime effect. The video also acknowledges a post-2015 rise in German burglaries and theft, says legal work access can cut migrants’ likelihood of crime by 50%, and stresses integration challenges. A Lund University study found 63% of those convicted of rape in Sweden had an immigration background, a disparity reduced but not eliminated after controls.
